Plant Profile: Calycanthus 'Aphrodite' PP 24,014

These striking red flowers, reminiscent of magnolias, emit a subtle fruity scent. What’s truly remarkable is their ability to rebloom over several weeks or even months, with blossoms perched on long stems. This plant can grow quite large, reaching heights of 6 to 8 feet, so it’s best to provide ample space for it. It thrives beautifully along the edges of woodlands. To keep its shape, prune it after the flowering period. While it can adapt to various soil types, including clay, it thrives best in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Additionally, it can tolerate nearly full shade.
